Walking Alongside the Night

Walking Alongside the Night

Inspired by the refrain for  “I Will”

“Watch you walk into the night, I will.

Let you find your way to light, I will.

Hold you while your soul takes flight,

I would, I do, I will.”

I will treasure this one moment.

I will stay in it.

I will not wander off into the land of fear my mind creates.

I will concentrate on this child in front of me.

I will hear her voice.

I will lay aside my sorrow.

I will lay aside my exhaustion.

I will lay aside my frustration.

I will force myself to laugh.

I will be.

I will not be distracted.

I will not be angry.

I will find pleasure in her.

I will banish every thought but her.

I will soak her in.

I will give her myself.

And it will be enough.
